Fibre optic cable Helos 1m OS2 LC/LC

The Helos 1m OS2 LC/LC fibre optic cable is a single-mode patch lead with a 9 µm core diameter designed for high-speed, low-loss data transmission. With LC connectors on both ends and a 1 meter length, the cable is intended for short interconnects in racks, patch panels and network equipment where single-mode OS2 performance is required. Its compact form factor and full-duplex capability make it suitable for cabling in data centers and structured network installations that demand stable optical links and consistent attenuation characteristics.

Advantages

The cable provides single-mode OS2 performance optimized for long-wavelength transmission, offering low attenuation and stable signal integrity. LC/LC terminations deliver a compact connector footprint that is widely compatible with modern transceivers and patch panels. The 1 m length reduces excess slack in dense racks and helps maintain clean cable management. The cable's construction balances flexibility and durability to withstand repeated handling and typical installation stresses.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between transceivers and network switches or media converters
• Interlinks within server racks and between patch panels in data centres
• Connections in telecom rooms and structured cabling backbones
• Environments where single-mode OS2 performance and LC connectors are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: single-mode (OS2)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 1 meter
• Modal bandwidth: suitable for long-wavelength single-mode transmission
• Typical insertion loss: low attenuation consistent with OS2 single-mode standards
• Cable construction: flexible jacket for rack and patch panel use

How to use

Route the Helos LC/LC fibre optic cable between LC ports on equipment, transceivers or patch panels, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before mating. Align the LC latches and insert gently until the connector seats; avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. For duplex links, maintain correct polarity between transmit and receive ports. When unplugging, press the LC latch and pull straight out without twisting to protect the ferrule and connector.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each connection. Store unused cables coiled loosely and protected from sharp bends and mechanical stress. For critical links, verify optical loss with an appropriate test instrument after installation to confirm expected performance.
